Weak differentiability of Wiener functionals and occupation times (1711.10895v3)

Abstract: In this paper, we establish a universal variational characterization of the non-martingale components associated with weakly differentiable Wiener functionals in the sense of Le~ao, Ohashi and Simas. It is shown that any Dirichlet process (in particular semimartingales) is a differential form w.r.t Brownian motion driving noise. The drift components are characterized in terms of limits of integral functionals of horizontal-type perturbations and first-order variation driven by a two-parameter occupation time process. Applications to a class of path-dependent rough transformations of Brownian paths under finite $p$-variation ($p\ge 2$) regularity is also discussed. Under stronger regularity conditions in the sense of finite $(p,q)$-variation, the connection between weak differentiability and two-parameter local time integrals in the sense of Young is established.
